seattlle foodie sends along a New Scientist article outlining two recent studies that confirm what many have long suspected: bad boys get the most girls. "The finding may help explain why a nasty suite of antisocial personality traits known as the 'dark triad' persists in the human population, despite their potentially grave cultural costs. The traits are: the self-obsession of narcissism; the impulsive, thrill-seeking, and callous behavior of psychopaths; and the deceitful and exploitative nature of Machiavellianism. At their extreme, these traits would be highly detrimental for life in traditional human societies. People with these personalities risk being shunned by others and shut out of relationships, leaving them without a mate, hungry and vulnerable to predators."

"Water is Wet", proclaims billion dollar study.
We've also inadvertently discovered a relationship between financial status and attractiveness to women, as well as confirming that there just might be something to that theory of gravity thing.

Yeah, that's totally what women sit around discussing. "Oh, I like Tim! He's an ideal genetic match, and if I mate with him, our children will have all the advantages they need to edge out those mutants from down the block!"

Amen.
More than once I've been there to pick up the pieces after some Neanderthal has done his work. Nothing burns like having someone you care about in your arms, in tears, and hearing her say, "I wish I could find someone like you..."
Like me, only an ape. Yeah, I know.
(Bitter? Me?)

Women who repeatedly get used in these types of relationships and then go cry to their geek friends deserve no sympathy.

What? no sympathy?! Are you kidding? As a geek, my entire mating strategy revolves around getting sympathy fucks with girls who want to see what its like to have sex with a nice guy for a change. Yeah, you have to put up with a lot of weepy phone calls and other such bullshit, but you have to play the evolutionary hand you're dealt.

*smile* This thread has progressed in furthering the explanation (of how the time difference in rejecting a prospective date as unobtainable) very quickly. In fact, this whole post is filled with a large amount of courteous replies and honest problem solving.

That's funny to me, we've found the topic where geeks and nerds everywhere, regardless of political persuasion, regardless of operating system choice, irrespective of text-editor preference, come together to truly put our heads together, for the 'common good' of course. *chuckle*
